Vol. 76 No. 14

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Issue of Special Stamps.

D'fhiafrai

den Aire Puist agus Telegrafa an ndéarfa sé an bhfuil iarrtha ag Coiste Cuimhneacháin an Athar Peadar O Laoghaire go gcuirfí stampa cuimhneacháin ar fáil i mbliana ina onóir agus cad tá beartuithe ina thaobh.

An application was received from the Macroom branch of the Gaelic League and was carefully considered. It was, however, decided not to issue such a stamp. The Post Office is averse to the issue of special stamps unless at reasonable intervals, or in regard to outstanding events.

The Minister has stated that the application came from the Macroom branch of the Gaelic League. Does he understand that the force behind that application is not alone that of the Macroom branch of the Gaelic League but that of every Gael in Munster?
